For those deliberately misleading people tonight that a Trump retweet means he is souring on Putin, please cast your mind back almost a year ago to this Trump tweet threatening Putin. It’s a regular tactic Trump used to trick fools. There are sadly lots of them.

Lad mig gætte…

Nå, jeg er smuttet til nytårskoncert i Dresden på ZDF i stedet for at høre klåge-Åger. (Sachsen er et nazi-land 😔, men Semperoperaen er flot)

Sådan cirka 85% af Christiansborg om minoritetsdanskere

PS: Almindeligt kendt at Statsministeriet har en stor hånd i Dr… æh, Kongens Nytårstale

Hvordan man nævner Rusland og USA uden at nævne Rusland og USA

Gad vide om Rasmus Stoklund og Mette Frederiksen selv har hørt efter om det med næstekærligheden? [retorisk spørgsmål]

”Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but I was explaining to the president, President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine.”

[Kigger på det meste af Christiansborg, og … well 😒]

Försök att hålla isär psykiatrin från rättspsykiatrin. Det är inte riktigt samma sak. Människor som inte får den hjälp och vård de behöver i den första kan hamna i den andra, men alla i den första är inte potentiella brottslingar.

Det ville selvfølgelig være en interessant markering hvis Frede havde grønlandsk dragt på www.dr.dk/nyheder/kult...

The 2024 Trump campaign did a very good job of leaving voters with the impression that immigration enforcement would focus on violent criminals. (And in addition to the fact that most voters don't pay much attention to the commentariat, a lot of elite pundits did not dispel this impression either)

The thing to remember is that destroying the Kennedy Center is the point of all of this. Shut down arts, shut down science, shut down academia so that radical Christianity can take over.

Can’t have humanitarian aid groups that tell the truth, deliver aid, save lives, and don’t randomly massacre people trying to access aid.

My great uncle, Staff Sgt. Herbert Reynerson, is buried at Margraten. KIA on March 9, 1945. Bronze Star & Purple Heart posthumously. The removal of the plaques honoring Black soldiers is an affront to their honor—and to his sacrifice.

Trumpers have a howling void of angry insecurity where a soul should be. Unchecked power tastes like ashes in their mouth because they thought when they got it everyone would be forced to like and admire them even though they’re irredeemable assholes. But people still treat them like assholes.

I often think back to a Greek taxi driver who once told me: "Too many people want the harshest laws they can imagine - for everyone except themselves." This thinking is rife on the right, but it is also prevalent in a significant minority on the left. And that last part always takes me by surprise.

Oh well if Putin told him then it must be true

When I wrote in April that Trump was helping Putin kill Ukrainians by weakening Ukrainian air defense, some people got upset and said I was being too harsh. Guess what happened in 2025? US aid to Ukr withered and at the same time, Ukrainian civilian deaths rose steeply. news.un.org/en/story/202...

US-Congressman Don Bacon absolutely torches Medvedev. This is exactly how you communicate with the Russian regime.

Apropos Socialdemokratiet og empati

Putin can tell Trump any old piece of horse-sh&t, and Trump will believe it and react emotionally. He has been conditioned to trust what Putin says and see it as truth.

Not sure people are getting the real importance of the Russians fooling Trump about the Ukrainians attacking Putin's house. It was to demonstrate just how much they control his thinking--how much he is in their pocket. And it worked.

It's not about immigration, never has been. Immigration is just the acceptable way into a debate about far darker policies. Just look at how remigration is seeping into acceptable discourse. Labour needs to stop chasing these voters, they're gone, no way to satisfy them that isn't monstrous

Jeg kan forbinde dagens Socialdemokrati med meget, men empati? Afgjort nej

One of the strongest justifications for the ECHR and the Human Rights Act is that they provide (some) protection when a government wants to take punitive action against people it decides it doesn’t like - including for politically expedient, even irrational, capricious or ephemeral reasons

Netanyahu realises how easy Trump is to buy. You just go straight for his vanity.

Jeg har engang lånt Ole Ernst en kuglepen i et S-tog (fik den tilbage efter brug, hvis nogen undrer)

Roz is absolutely correct. Deprivation of citizenship should not be a matter for mere ministerial discretion (with light touch judicial review). In the extreme circumstances when it can happen, the determination should be made by a tribunal, where government and citizen can make their cases.

"A movement that once vowed to rescue higher education from ideological excesses is now perfecting and entrenching them" A full-circle moment as the right embraces the tactics they once condemned and the left experiences what it's like to be on the wrong side of them

“Rather than dismantling the excesses of the woke era, the new Trump-friendly programs and policies simply repurposed them to serve a different ideological agenda. The result is a new orthodoxy even more stifling than the last.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/o...

Mostly no arguments, but would add a C+ tier and put Eisenhower in that (Interstate Highway System is a hell of a thing) and also an F- tier for Buchanan and the current president, who is hands down the most blatantly corrupt chief exec we've ever had (for starters)

It’s not just “we decided to name our company after the personification of evil.” It’s also “we decided to name our home security company after the personification of evil who was so vainly proud of his vigilance that he let his home get invaded in the most catastrophic way possible.”

Medierne drages til Trump som myg til ild. (En hel del af det skyldes nok at han på mange måder er et medieprodukt)

Er Sverige (og Danmark) egentlig velfærdsstater? Eller skal vi benytte os af en anden kategorisering?

Trump läser inte böcker, väljer aktivt bort kunskap som kräver ansträngning och lyssnar mest på sin egen röst. Och en förutsättning för allt detta är att omgivningen spelar med och skyddar denna djupt störda person. bsky.app/profile/kall...

Always get caught wondering if he's incredibly stupid or malevolent before remembering he can be both.

So the meetings are over, press conference is being held. No agreement on Donbas, no agreement on security guarantees, negotiations to go on for weeks.

Once again raising the question -- why is the president's son-in-law at this official event?

So what do we know so far? Trump called Putin before meeting Zelensky to agree a common position. Trump publicly stated that Putin seriously wants peace The Russians have stated that the US and Russia are aligned. So yeah--this looks like a pantomime so far.

LeMonde said, not on our watch

En amerikansk Kaare Dybvad, med andre ord

Sinatra has gone woke

No one has ever been able to adequately explain what Putin is meant to have thought NATO expansion would threaten him with, apart from limiting his expansionist ambitions. "He was worried they'd invade Russia." No he wasn't. He just wasn't. That's not a thing anyone thought might happen.

Barely a blip in the news. 🦗from the New York Times editorial and opinion pages. Compare with days of Hunter Biden Hysteria about unprecedented abuse of the pardon power.

Overskriften dækker ikke helt hvad Isabel Bramsen siger i artiklen

Too few are aware that, although Russia has roughly 2–3 times more military casualties than Ukraine, it has 20–30 times fewer civilian casualties. This is because Russia, the aggressor, targets civilians, while Ukraine does not. It’s as black and white as it gets
